Abstract: In the split sampling gas chromatographic process for analyzing a sample by introducing the needle of a syringe into the vaporization chamber of a gas chromatographic column, discharging a liquid sample from the syringe needle into the vaporization chamber, and passing the vapors of the sample through a chromatographic column along with a carrier gas, the improvement which comprises passing a cooling gas over the entire length of the syringe needle, thereby to cool the sample passing therethrough. The cooling may be effected by a flow of liquid or gaseous CO.sub.2, air or nitrogen through a tube which surrounds the needle over its length during introduction of the sample.

Abstract: A method of storing and transforming heat and of generating cold by means of two metal-hydride and metal-hydrogen systems operating in conjunction in closed circulation at different temperatures. Magnesium hydride, especially active magnesium hydride, is employed as a high-temperature hydride. A hydride with a hydrogen-dissociation pressure that is lower than that of the magnesium hydride subject to the conditions of thermal dissociation and higher than that of the magnesium hydride during its recovery is employed as a low-temperature hydride.
